I think they look very much alike - hair or not. It does demonstrate that eye-witnesses can be shaky. The comment about getting it right "most" of the time is ludicrous. We must ensure that no innocent are convicted.

Now what's all this stuff about CW33? I missed it and have no idea what it presented.

Was a special report on the Wise County DA. Opened with this "Where can you committ sexual assault and get away with only a hand slap? It's happening in Wise County!"...etc... interviewed our sheriff who is TIRED of non prosecutions by the hand of Jana Jones. Very good report!! People should call the station and ask for a repeat! hmmmmmmm...wonder if our WISE COUNTY MESSENGER will report on the interviews?

8:22- idiot...... Our justice system was founded upon the philosophy that it is better to let 100 guilty people go free than to put 1 innocent person in jail, and I'm glad because of it, even though it doesn't always happen that way.

"Personal grudge" ?? When an elected PROSECUTOR does not do her/his job and protect VICTIMS from their abusers, he/she isn't doing the job they receive their pay for! You mean you are OK with her turning them loose here? I see.. you must be one of them (sex offender)! Of course you would defend her in that case. Take a hike!

Do you really think she has all the power, get real, there is more to each case than you obviously realise, each case is dependent on the evidence, reports, and so on precented to her by the law enforcement agency that so called handled the case with many holes in it which is crucial to each case being prosecuted. The ball is dropped long before it gets to the DA doorstep. She follows the law, there is only so much that can be done with the reports and evidence given to her if they have holes in them. And by the way to your comment calling me a sex offender, is that the way you handled things someone doesn't agree with you so you start spouting bullshit. They have classes for that. Sign up buddy.

1:39 what cw33 and you don't know is that she also goes after people that are innocent like a bully just to get a conviction. If she spent half the time on sex crimes she could make a case. Instead she tries to make stuff stick that isn't true and that takes alot of time. She's not honest or fair.

There is no point in bashing the DA. Apparently enough people are pleased with her work to keep her in office. Griping is not going to change anything. If you don't like the current situation then exercise your right to do something about it at the next election.

We ARE excercising our right here. You guys "bash" Bush all over the place because you are not happy with his job performance. Guess you are not his "buddy" like you must be with the DA. It isn't "bashing" to talk about someone not doing their job! Anyone who has had to have dealings with the DA realizes what all goes into "case making." You think we are idiots just because we say she isn't doing her job? OPEN YOUR EYES!! Did you see the show last night? Did you hear the quote of the MANY cases of sex offenders getting off in Wise County? You people have your head in the sand. Why would you want to continue to pay someone's salary when they are not doing their job? Those of you who THINK she is doing her job.... are buying a pack of lies. And yes...I do have a personal stake in this. I've had to deal with her...and I know more about the "excuses" offered for not prosecuting than most of you will ever have a clue about. There's more to come. If you feel like getting an education that might pay off for Wise County, then stay tuned. If your Jana's friend....then fine...be a friend and tell her to start doing her job and maybe she won't lose it next election.

3:56, you must not have a clue or you would defend DA with facts. You just attack the people who try to let our citizens know about a serious problem that is obviously true enough to get the media's attention. It is called NEWS. Voters have a right to know the truth, so why don't you lay off and stop trying to shut up the ones who are telling the truth. Besides, I'd bet if your child was molested and you got no prosecution from the DA, it would become pretty personal with you! If not... then what kind of parent are you?

Ladies and GentsWhat I read is a TRAINLOAD of frustration regarding the job performance of the current Wise Co. DA. Just a suggestion, rather than pissing and moaning about what you perceive to be her lack luster performance do SOMETHING.

1. For approximately $20.00 and 30 minutes YOU can acquire a domain name such as "DumpJanaJones.com" or "JanaJonesSucks.com" (for legal, ethical and integrity reasons I HIGHLY suggest something more along the lines of "Dump" or "Fire" as opposed to "Sucks" or "Blows") and set up a website. Post your reasons for wanting to CAN Jana Jones and ask others to send their REASONS for wanting her GONE to a domain e-addy such as "reasons@dumpjanajones.com" and post the reasons sent to the website. You might want to omit rude commentary containing offensive language. Posting such would assuredly diminish ALL credibility of the website.

I HIGHLY suggest you refrain from posting ANYTHING that would be construed as slanderous. All thought the truth is an EXCELLENT defense against a claim of slander it is VERY expensive to defend yourself against an attorney whom you have pissed off by appearing to have slandered.

2. If you do NOT want to go the website route then campaign for or contribute to someone running AGAINST Jana Jones.

Just to sum it up. If you people who are dissatisfied with the job being done by Jana Jones are TRULY concerned then do SOMETHING otherwise....SHUT UP and STOP whining.

Doing something and/or shutting up is beneficial to YOU. Regardless of which you elect to do YOUR level of frustration WILL be diminished for either taking action or NOT continually fueling your frustration by continually rehashing your complaints.

I sincerely wish YOU the best of luck regardless of the route YOU take.

*Personally....I would DO SOMETHING if I thought she was as incompetent as some of YOU believe.*

uhhhh... isn't informing the media who just did an investigation and a special report on this problem called DOING SOMETHING!?Do you have any idea what they FOUND in their investigation? Isn't informing the PUBLIC, via whatever means is necessary, DOING SOMETHING? Our Sheriff's interview explaining that he feels these offenders need to go to JAIL and not receive probation is DOING SOMETHING! Are YOU a bloody idiot who can't SEE that communication to the voting public is DOING SOMETHING? You spout off your "un-asked-for" opinions on here all the time, Mzchief! You think others cannot do the same? YOU are the one who has NO IDEA in this matter, so take your bloody British advice and stick it!

Maybe I AM the one who contacted the media! Maybe I AM the one who contacted the Attorney General only to find that District Attorney's do have "all the power" and the only way to remove that power is to defeat them in office. Maybe I am a victim of the DA's injustice! Maybe I don't dwell in HATE but have a mission to my fellow Wise Countians to do all I can so they will not have to suffer the same injustices! Maybe all YOU can call people who ARE doing something about this is a bunch of HATE MONGERS, but seems you have no real idea of what this is all about. YOU are the idiot here and your comments prove that. Could be you are a "kin" to that jerk in RAB who assaulted one of our police officers, (caught on camera) but who was "let off" by our "esteemed" DA. hmmmm... Possibly you have no compassion for the victim interviewed in CW33 who was assaulted over and over again by her own father...and when he went after her son, she finally went to the law. He got to plea bargain and received probation (NO TIME IN JAIL), and thanks to Jana Jones, he is immune from being tried for those charges again! Really makes those victims, who are "afraid enough" of their assailants, trust our justice system, eh? Why don't you get yourself informed, before you start name calling on here. (thought you said in another post that "you" don't name call) Seems you like to preach, but your practice is quite lacking! Bloody Hell! ( By the way...I notice you never answered the question about your legal status here. )

To anonyNOTHING 10:19...As stated in my response to anonyNOTHING 9:06 my suggestions posted in my 8:51 comment were CLEARLY addressed to those people who do NOTHING but piss and moan about Jana Jones.

Since you are too dim to recognize the lunacy of the inane assertion regarding my citizen status in the United States I will respond to the ludicrous question posted by anonyNOTHING 9:16.

After having served for 26 years in the United States Army my father a 15/16th NATIVE AMERICAN(his greatgreatgrandfather was a French fur trapper) retired as a Brigadier General from the United States Army. Prior to my birth my father served two tours in Korea in the 1950's and two tours in Vietnam in the 1960's. Due to his service and MANY European Temporary Duty Stations my parents elected to keep the family "headquartered" in the U.K. thus explaining my having been born and raised in the U.K. Since I was born in a U.K. hospital and NOT on a military installation I, from birth maintained dual citizenship as a U.S. citizen and a British subject. As permitted by U.S. law I, at 18 elected to retain SOLE citizenship of the United States. My brother is CURRENTLY serving his THIRD tour in Afghanistan as a Lt. Col, US Army. I attended and graduated more than once from a VERY well known University in the N.E. United States. I serve MY country in a civilian capacity by providing my services to a NONpartisan Institution that has the sole purpose of ATTEMPTING to make the United States a BETTER place for ALL Americans.

One other thing to further piss off the mzchief haters...I have gladly and gratefully paid MORE in income taxes than the average American earns in a LIFETIME.

Based upon these FACTS, for ANYONE to so much as INTIMATE that because of my origin of birth I may be an illegal immigrant or have less right to comment on the status, direction and actions of or topics and events pertaining to the United States is not only WRONG it is pathetically RIDICULOUS.

Good! Glad to hear you are a true American. Though there are times you don't behave as one. If you did, you would know when to keep your nose out of places it doesn't belong. And as far as your comment "One other thing to further piss off the mzchief haters...I have gladly and gratefully paid MORE in income taxes than the average American earns in a LIFETIME." ... WHO CARES!! You think that gives you the right to b*tch to others when they put their opinions on here? I've known quite a few rich SNOBS who decide their money allows them to trample on others. You need to get a life of your own to meddle in. Unfortunately for us, your time seems to be muddled away right here on this website. CONSTANTLY. Time after time it is YOU who BASH posters. In America we call that being a HYPOCRIT! Glad to see your family is honorable, too bad you didn't learn some poise and refinement from them. Your a waste of my time. Adios!

If you losers would pull your heads out of your asses you would see that mzchief's idea of putting up a www.firejanajones.com website is a great idea and would do a hell of a lot more good than bitching on Barry's blog.

From what I can tell mzchief has a lot more sense and class than all of you put together, especially the semi-literate punk ass 3:48 jerk.
